There must be a marketing list or something that would really appreciate all this work a lot more and be able to use the intelligence. Now that it is up and avilable it might be easier for anyone in marketing to get hold of and use. So, the effort is NOT wasted! Far from it, i have really enjoyed it. I'm not on any of the marketing lists and have been getting increasingly down-hearted about the scene in the UK so it's been a really positive boost to see someone really pushing and getting good results here. Timing could not have been better because in local elections on Thursday we have just voted in an increasingly right-wing, almost fascist, government that is increasingly dedicated to increasing the wealth of the rich and the poverty of the poor.

Oh, this is exactly why I spammed this bug! I have spent many hours on
Ubuntu Marketing, Ubunty Advertising et al. With no effect because we

Ubuntu is a fantastic community, but is is too fragmented and anarchic
to debug this particular bug!
